KALAMAZOO -- Police believe drugs or alcohol may have made Janine and Jelte Jansma more combative the night a tactical team raided their home, leaving her with a shattered wrist when an officer went to arrest her.

"I thought they were high or intoxicated because they weren't acting like a normal person would in that situation," said Officer Patrick Harig, one of four Grand Rapids Police officers who burst into the Jansmas' upstairs bedroom in August 2003 in a drug-related raid.

Police described Janine Jansma as being aggressive, flailing her arms and yelling at officers.

Testimony during the fourth day of a civil trial, with the Jansmas claiming police used excessive force, showed that two small bags of marijuana and a fifth of whisky were in the room. Jelte Jansma has admitted smoking marijuana that night, and both he and his wife said they had been drinking.

Attorneys for two police officers sued by Janine Jansma called several witnesses Thursday to bolster their claims police were raiding a house known for drug activity. Jelte Jansma in earlier testimony suggested the police raid was unwarranted.

But Grand Rapids community policing Officer David Gillem and Officer Amanda Johnson testified that one of the Jansma's sons had been in repeated trouble for alleged drug and larceny crimes.

"I had knowledge of that being a problem house in the area," Gillem said.

And during the August raid, police recovered the marijuana in the upstairs bedroom, a "dime bag" of marijuana in a basement room and another larger bag in a file cabinet that contained three smaller bags -- one with marijuana, another psychedelic mushrooms and another with numerous white pills.

A key part of the case hinges on differing testimony about what happened in the bedroom when police came in and ordered the Jansmas, both naked, off their bed and to the ground. Both sides say the Jansmas were not following police commands and yelling at officers.

But Janine Jansma claims Sgt. Matt Ostapowicz grabbed her right arm, then twisted and yanked it to cause the wrist injury. Police, however, say Ostapowicz never touched her and she likely injured her wrist accidentally as Officer Dennis Newton used a "straight arm bar" police technique to put her on the floor.

A Life Ambulance paramedic gave potentially damaging testimony to the Jansma's case Thursday, essentially backing up the officers' claims.

Barbara Carmel was putting a splint on Jansma's wrist inside the home, 854 Hazen St. SE, when she asked what happened.

"She told me she was on her bed, she was pulled off and she struck her wrist on a dresser," Carmel testified.

Carmel also said Janine Jansma was verbally abusive to police and ambulance personnel, telling them she would "take our jobs."

Ostapowicz and Newton, both veteran officers, described the lawsuit as an affront to their honor.

"I serve to protect the city. To have these allegations is embarrassing," Newton said. "Being accused of being brutal and abusive is not true."

The trial is expected to wrap up today, with jury deliberations beginning as early as noon. The Jansmas are seeking more than $1 million.
